This occurred to me as well. If it is the case, I sure hope the C4L got paid the going rate of a high-class escort and not the wages of a street-walker.

C4L should not be engaged in this, regardless. Doesn't exactly make the whole situation any better.

Yeah, if I got $40 for every post, my 1st quarter would be totally funded ;-)
(if I got $7 for every view, my whole campaign would be funded through November)

No argument there. Just saying if they did allow themselves to be used as some sort of intermediary they better have gotten well paid for it and not just some backroom-friend deal. Because they just tarnished their reputation..

Gunny, I got your back and I'm in for your bomb with what little I have for personal funds. I still haven't gotten a C4L survey either. I'm reserving any judgment until I hear from Tate, but it had better be good!

evidence of a credibility gap that plays out in terms of level of activism ("get[ting] things done")?

It's mad appreciated guys! I am trying not to turn into a complainer on this issue, I just wish y'all knew how frustrating it is -- and 75% of what I've gotten so far has come from right here on the forums. I already know from hearing people that my locals will pick up even more when they know I'm a "serious" candidate, and the regional big guy has told me outright that as a first timer the Ron Paul network is the only chance in hell I have of getting enough funding to win the race.
I know I should be bringing in somewhere around $350 a day right now to be competitive, and when I do the math I'm not sure whether I should laugh or I should cry. As far as being a legislator goes, I have that skill in spades, if the stunning progress I was able to make in the conventions is any indication. raising money for a campaign? not so much. The local Paulers just look baffled when I ask for help on fundraising, like it's supposed to magically fall out of the sky lol.
Even the establishment GOP has pretty much told me if I can raise the money the race is almost a given. But that's one hell of a big IF.
I have the funds for filing, so that won't be a problem. I don't yet have them for bumper stickers and slimjims, which are what all my volunteers are crying for right now. We just need to demonstrate to these people that I am a serious candidate, and that will give me a bargaining chip when I go in to the streets and ask people to open their wallets and help get the message out.

Just fill out your survey and get your $350,000 already.
ROFL that's awesome!

Hey Adam, thanks a millon! I'm in on yours with what I can spare as well -- which isn't as much as I'd like given the last 2 years of giving up work for activism.
When you get to Congress, you will absolutely need the pressure coming from the State Assemblies in order to have the stick for your carrot of Constitutionalist reform.
I'm not gonna give up, and I know you aren't either. Come hell or high water we're going to make this thing happen. We have to -- America itself depends on it.
And I agree, I am suspending judgement on this until I hear something from John Tate, and yes, it had certainly better be good.

Gunny knows I'll help do what I can, when I can. If Adam has his back, I've got the right side...LOL
Seriously folks, it's the message not the man or the organization.
Support the candidates you support DIRECTLY.
That being said, Tate's got some 'splaining to do...
